[MacDV] Re: A junky pic of scooter-cam...

[Ryan Sutter]

No offense intended, but without the gimbal handle that's nothing but a 
tripod with it's legs cut off and weighted.  It's helpful, but doesn't 
do (at all) what an actual Glide-Cam does.  Without the gimbal your arm 
movements are not isolated from the camera and that's what makes a 
GlideCam a GlideCam.  I've filmed stuff with a stunted tripod like that 
and the results are better than handheld but nowhere close to what I 
saw when I used my new one...
